Research

The Innsbruck Doctoral College “Gender and Gender Relations in Transformation” (IDC Gender) investigates transformations of gender and gender relations in their historical, spatial and reciprocal relationships, conditions and effects.

The research is built upon intersectional critical gender studies that bring feminist theory, queer studies, trans* studies, de-, post and anti-colonial studies, Black studies, migration studies and disability studies into dialogue. The IDC Gender defines gender as social and historical construct that structures institutions, politics and agency and provides an interdisciplinary platform for analyzing the complex interplay between gender, power and social inequality as well as for analyzing practices of negotiating and subverting gender regimes.  

From both historical and contemporary perspectives, the IDC Gender focusses on the following themes:

  • Power, Domination and Violence 
  • Democracy and Hegemony
  • State, Political Economy and Crisis
  • Subjectification, Bodies and Norms
  • Regimes, Institutions of Practices of Care
  • Migration and Un_Belonging
  • Cultural Studies
  • Media, Language and Representation
  • Resistance and Subversion
  • Epistemologies and Knowledge Productions

The Innsbruck Doctoral College “Gender and Gender Relations in Transformation” is affiliated with the Research Platform “Center Interdisciplinary Gender Studies Innsbruck” (CGI) and offers to collaborate in a transdisciplinary network of Gender Studies.
